2nd My Finds / His Finds

My fiancé is always wanting me to post his fishing finds which is how I came up with My Finds / His Finds.  I think someone needs his own blog.

My Finds

I found this small vintage tablecloth which would fit on something the size of a end table.  The colors and design said buy me.

This is one of the larger bowls in the Vintage Tulip pattern of the Fire King bowl set.

I love these recipe cards and sometimes I wish it could be my motto.

The bag on the mannequin has actually been in my basement hanging on a beam holding the mounting clips for our outdoor Christmas lights.

Doesn't this bird tin make you think of Spring?  It says Made In England on the bottom.

This paperweight reminds me of water on the bottom a planet in the middle and snow above.

This is my blog so I get to put in more finds that's just how it goes.

His Finds

A couple of weeks ago we went to a garage sale while snow was falling (this was a first for me).  He found these two vintage fishing creels and he and the seller came to a agreed price. 

Hardy Sunbeam 10 wt. fly reel for Salmon fly fishing.  Made in England.

Hardy Silex centre pin reel from early 60's used for Steelhead fishing.  Made in England.
These two reels are his prized reels I happen to like the ones with the Celtic designs I shared before and I'm again showing you below.

He went to a garage sale last week and bought me a bag of broken costume jewelry because this Coro Necklace was in it and still intact.  He got the bag for $2.00, he did okay.  I also have a use for the broken jewelry it was a win win all around for me.

Wedding Nightmares

I had my first nightmare about the wedding the other night about of all things cutlery. 

Cutlery really, where did that come from?  What would Freud say?  Oh well I'm just going to go with the flow.   

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Road Trip And Local Finds

A week ago Friday we were in Kamloops, British Columbia and had time to stop by some of the secondhand stores.  Some of the finds in this post are from that trip.

The three yellow  Pyrex bowl set is the Butterfly Gold 2 pattern and the white and aqua set is the Butterprint pattern.  The casserole dish is the Town And Country pattern and found at another store.

This single bright cheery green mug caught my eye, it was made in England.

I'm not sure but I'm guessing this may be a cookie jar.  It's marked either 620 copyright U.S.A. or 626 copyright U.S.A. I'm not sure if it's a zero or six.

I'm not sure what purpose this dish serves it may just be a decorative piece on the back it's signed C.A.

Back to my local secondhand stores I found this teapot and mug.

This bag is so me it just said buy me buy me so I did.

The warm sunny weather we've been having this month made me think of this picture.  I can see my grandmother in it, who everyone else is and how she knew them I have no clue.

Things I Could Not Leave Behind

Do you ever feel like you are going backwards instead of forward? I feel this way quite often.  Lately for me it's been the weather, a couple of weeks ago I was wearing my Capri's and flip flops then that was done and I had jeans on again and the umbrella back out. Yesterday we had another nice day and I was out working in the yard, it was nice to feel the sun on me.  Of course I live in beautiful British Columbia, rain will again come back but  B.C'ers roll with it.

I notice new life finally starting in my yard.

This delicate lovely plant is Solomon Seal,

 this picture is from last year as its actually just started to come up.

I found this double honey pot holder at a local secondhand store,

it was just so special I couldn't leave it behind.

This apron is finished on both sides which gives you two looks with one apron.

I collect paperweights and I saw this one with this cute bulldog on it and it went into my basket.

I love this bag I found another one with a different saying and picture  on it a few weeks back and posted it in my Monday, 11 March 2013 Coffee On My Mind post.   The pink and white small Pyrex bowls are a nice find I'm always happy to find a piece of pink Pyrex it doesn't happen often.  This lovely flower mug has a Spring feel to it and was made in Japan.

These cherry blossoms look so cheery.
